Philip attempts to maintain calm, and Emma feels awkward.

Ed and Jazzer put up a gazebo for Keira’s 9th birthday party while Emma puts the finishing touches to the cake. Ed and Emma are trying to steer clear of one another after their awkward encounter on Friday. Tomorrow they’re going to a theme park for George’s birthday. Emma asks Tracy if she can go in her place but she’ll be at Grey Gables which is reopening this week. 

Ed’s getting lots of requests for shearing but Jazzer’s lukewarm about taking them up. Ed’s desperate for the cash and Jazzer, enjoying the position of power – the tables are turned on last year – says he’ll see if Adam will give him the time off. 

As Robert unwraps his birthday present from Lynda, she explains that the choice of gift and card had been Kate’s. Leonie and James have had to cancel their visit because of car trouble. Robert suggests Lynda could help out at the Easter Festival but Lynda’s less positive about when she will be discharged from hospital. 

Gavin’s worried that Kenzie, who keeps asking after Blake, will cause them problems. He can’t understand how Philip can appear so calm about it all, especially with Roy talking to Blake. Later, Gavin returns from visiting Jordan and Kenzie, having bribed Kenzie with beer and cigarettes to stop asking about Blake. Philip says they both need to keep calm until it all blows over.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
